East Montgomery’s Taylor Lakes provides coveted amenities along with roomy homes and lots near the Capital City’s newest high school.

Taylor Lakes is located on the west side of Taylor Road about a mile from Troy Highway. A Taylor Lakes address also is less than five minutes from Park Crossing High School.

“Taylor Lakes is a gated community with impressive landscaped entrances, gas lanterns and a stunning clubhouse,” Realtor Kitty Wasserman said, adding that the clubhouse facility offers two swimming pools, a state of the art fitness center, a large entertainment area and conference room, and a full kitchen.

Homes were built starting in 2005, and new construction continues in 2018, Wasserman said. The styles of homes vary from one and two-story traditional designs to craftsman looks.

The gated entrance, clubhouse and spacious lots help create a laid-back atmosphere. “Taylor Lakes has a relaxed, comfortable feel. As you enter this well maintained, lovely neighborhood it feels like home,” Wasserman said. Taylor Lakes also is just minutes from premiere shopping along Vaughn Road and in EastChase, great restaurants, museums and parks.

One home is for sale for $319,900 and includes four bedrooms and 31/2 bathrooms within 3,250 square feet of living space. It was built in 2006.

“The lovely home is custom built with amazing upgrades. The home has two very large main suites downstairs, two fireplaces, one in the great room and one in the sunroom off the main bedroom, and a fabulous outdoor living area,” Wasserman said. “A large screened-in porch and additional large deck with a forest behind (in the backyard) adds to the privacy. The home is in pristine condition.”

The home’s construction is stucco, and it includes beautiful landscaping and is located on a cul-de-sac, Wasserman said.

Kent Gibson of D.R. Horton Homes says the company offers a 10-year structural warranty on its Taylor Lakes homes. He is equally impressed with the neighborhood’s appearance.

“Our Taylor Lakes homes make custom features affordable,” Gibson said, adding that a model home built in 2017 includes four bedrooms and covered front and back porches.
